The Ironic Result of Redefining Title IX (June 8, 2016)

Title IX was designed to ensure equal opportunities in education for women, but its entire purpose may have been nullified by the recent federal court decision which held that the word “sex” in Title IX may also be read to encompass biological males who identify as females.

If the legal status of protected classes like race and sex are now based on an identity and not one’s actual race or sex, then it is reasonable to question the need or efficacy of all anti-discrimination laws.

The legal system is at a tipping point, is it going to address objective realities or will it become subject to the whims of judges deciding whether someone’s identity trumps another’s anatomy.The practical result is that vital anti-discrimination laws may be rendered useless by the ironic efforts of those preaching “inclusion” and “tolerance.”
